Not this week, I’m afraid.  Sore throat, earache, chills – I’m a mess.
In the meanwhile, here’s what’s new and interesting  . . .

• I’ve switched, at least temporarily, from my signature fragrance of Quelques Fleurs to Tom Ford’s Violet Blonde.  Luscious.
• Food & Wine editors tried macarons from seven bakeries, and liked Macaron Cafe, in NYC, best.  I was in Manhattan over the weekend, and the line at Laduree was snaking out the door.  Glad I didn’t wait, when I can order online from the Cafe.  For medicinal purposes, of course.  
• Our holiday party at work is in two weeks and we are excited to have The White Apron catering.  There’s a reason they have been voted “Best Caterer” for 2010.
• Teavana’s JavaVana Mate Tea – chocolate and vanilla blended with black Assam and roasted mate tea.  A nice morning or evening tea.
• I am a big fan of Masterpiece Mystery, and the recent Case Histories is worth watching if for no other reason than Jason Isaacs and Millie Innes, who is absolutely delightful.

Time for bed – see you in two.
